The VXI-SC-1000 is a carrier module that installs into a slot in a
VXIbus chassis and is populated with one or two submodules. The
VXI-SC-1102/B/C is a submodule that installs into VXI-SC subslots on
a VXI-SC-1000 carrier module.
Your VXI-SC-1000 carrier module is shipped with a filler panel
installed in one of the submodule sites. This filler panel is necessary for
the attachment of the front panel, so you should leave it in place until
you are ready to install a VXI-SC submodule.
About the VXI-SC-1102/B/C
♦ The VXI-SC-1102 is a submodule for the signal conditioning of
thermocouples, low-bandwidth volt and millivolt sources, 4-20 mA current
sources, and 0-20 mA process-current sources. The VXI-SC-1102 has
32 differential analog input channels and one cold-junction sensor channel.
On each channel, the VXI-SC-1102 has a three-pole lowpass filter with a
2 Hz cutoff frequency to reject 60 Hz noise. Each channel also has an
amplifier with a selectable gain of 1 or 100. You can multiplex the
VXI-SC-1102 inputs to a single output, which drives a single VXI-MIO
module channel.
♦ The VXI-SC-1102B is a submodule for the signal conditioning of
thermocouples, medium-bandwidth volt and millivolt sources, 4-20 mA
current sources, and 0-20 mA process-current sources. The
VXI-SC-1102B has 32 differential analog input channels and one
cold-junction sensor channel. On each channel, the VXI-SC-1102B has a
three-pole lowpass filter with a 200 Hz cutoff frequency. Each channel also
has an amplifier with a selectable gain of 1 or 100. You can multiplex the
VXI-SC-1102B inputs to a single output, which drives a single VXI-MIO
module channel.
♦ The VXI-SC-1102C is a submodule for the signal conditioning of
thermocouples, high-bandwidth volt and millivolt sources, 4-20 mA
current sources, and 0-20 mA process-current sources. The
VXI-SC-1102C has 32 differential analog input channels and one
cold-junction sensor channel. On each channel, the VXI-SC-1102C has a
three-pole lowpass filter with a 10 kHz cutoff frequency. Each channel also
has an amplifier with a selectable gain of 1 or 100. You can multiplex the
VXI-SC-1102C inputs to a single output, which drives a single VXI-MIO
module channel.
